@1TommEBoi @DrewThatsWho @BadCallOfficial In the Kansas play, the Kansas did not dribble twice so he cannot double dribble and I am a St. John’s alum so I’m definitely not biased towards kansas

@07SecondsOrLess @DrewThatsWho @BadCallOfficial No cuz that would be a double dribble

This was called a backcourt violation. The ball never goes backcourt. The offensive player establishes himself in the front court with two feet prior to touching the ball. That’s a bad call.

@1TommEBoi @DrewThatsWho @BadCallOfficial Not necessarily. There are ways to save the ball and it be the start of your dribble and continue your dribble once retrieving the ball. As long as the player uses 1 hand and does not carry the ball on the initial save and retrieval then you can’t call a double dribble

@cchoka @mitchgoldich It was smart to keep the throw-ins in the backcourt. A front court throw in with a few seconds left and fouls to give has the possibility of a shooting foul so non-shooting fouls are hard at that point.

@mitchgoldich The execution was so bad. St. John’s was always gonna run it down for last shot. Why start the fouling so early? Insanely dumb.

Kansas deserved to lose on a buzzer beater after taking four intentional fouls in the final 13 seconds of a tie game. There, I said it.

@DrewThatsWho @BadCallOfficial You can also save the ball from going out of bounds and be the first one to touch it if your momentum takes you out of bounds and you re-establish back in bounds. Why do you pretend to know the rules when you haven’t read a rule book?

@BadCallOfficial You have never been able to save the ball and be the first person to touch it. Once you cross half court, it essentially becomes a fourth out-of-bounds line and the rules still apply.

@JRrews @ColtonSpaur @RefObserver17 It wasn’t a pass. It was the start of a dribble by rule since he pushed the ball to the ground with one hand

@ColtonSpaur @RefObserver17 It wasn't a backcourt violation but it was a violation. A player cannot catch his own pass. Backcourt throw in a the 28 ft mark.

After getting treated to Vanderbilt-Nebraska last night, we were due for a slugfest. This has been a brutal watch to be honest. I suppose you could say good defense but this is a pretty ugly game to watch

@disismyburner It’s not a backcourt violation

Omg bill self does not know the rules of backcourt. Did you see him argue that wasn’t a backcourt??!!! What a mess of a program. #marchmadness

@BleedBNetwork @wufyfab Either team can call a timeout while the ball is considered dead. The ball becomes live after a made basket when the ball is at the disposal of the player throwing the ball in. It has nothing to do with once UK has the ball. You have to use the words in the rulebook

@wufyfab Once UK has the ball he can’t call timeout

By rule, Herb Sendek couldn’t call time out. So argument #1 is dead. The clock didn’t delay in starting. Argument #2 dead. The haters have simply outed themselves to be non ball knowing haters.

@flight3026933 @kminnicksports It is 1 hour and 10 mins from Rutgers Prep to Jackson Township High School so this change added 10 mins to their trip

@kminnicksports Everyone did that moaning and complaining but now Rutgers Prep the #1 seed has to drive 1 hour and 20 mins to Lenape. Smh they should of just left it the way it was. It's unfortunate but should not been changed a couple days before.

Gloucester Catholic girls basketball will now also play its Non-Public B South final at Lenape, starting at 7

@kminnicksports Will Ocean City be bumped to Group 4 next year with new rule?

South Jersey Group 3 final 3-Ocean City 51 4-Delsea 33 OC wins second straight title and will face Westampton Tech in state semfinals on Wednesday

@JSSInsider Where did you get this map from?

Part 1: This map should help illustrate why picking neutral sites in South Jersey Non-Public A is a difficult task. Used the boys for the example. The green are schools classified in North while the Red are schools classified in South.

@Coach_Daaiyah7 NJ needs to abandon the north and south non public a and b sections. Just do it like the public schools and have a south, central and 2 north jersey sections. No need for an a and b for non public

The way I’m about to crash out at the NJSIAA is insane. They really moved our game to Lenape thus having the 1 seed travel over an hour(which we do either way) to play the 2 seed who only is 30 minutes away from Lenape is blasphemy. This is ridiculous.

@UNCSportsTalk @JamieShaw5 A sectional champion is not a state champion

@JamieShaw5 NJ public has 4 sections per group and 4 groups (based on enrollment). Each can call themselves a state sectional champion Throw in 2 x 2 for non-public and you get 4 more So 20 champions. (That’s just boys) They continue playing through for Group and entire state champions

This season, North Carolina will have 8 boys public school state champions 8 girls public school state champions 4 boys private school state champions 4 girls private school state champions 24 total high school basketball state champions 👀 Does any other state have this many?

@dandakich If a referee has too many incorrect calls then it doesn’t matter how much the B10 coach likes them

Dirty little secret in college hoops Referees Pay MAC game pays refs $2000-$2500 per game Big Ten pays refs $2800-$4200 per game Who do you think refs want to keep happy? The MAC coach or the Big 10 coach? Easy answer When MAC teams go to B10 arena's the fucking is legendary (got a nasty nasty call from bosses at ESPN for saying this on air...the B10 Commish Delaney was pissed I exposed this)

@SethBurn @KoreyYarc @EricFawcett_ There is no rule stating an offensive player cannot reach over therefore it is legal

@KoreyYarc @EricFawcett_ That's a different game state. A defensive player could jump out of bounds to save a ball as well.

Very interesting rule loophole here from Charleston... With 1.9 seconds remaining Charleston has a player right on the ball, reaching over the end line ready to receive it. The defense tips it away, and the referee assesses a delay of game warning--if I understand correctly, the rules allow the offense to reach over the end line but NOT the defense. UNC Wilmington is forced to allow the inbounds pass and foul.

@AyersRefTracker Some officials have driven through the night in snowstorms when their flight got canceled

This is funny (in response to Kipp’s crazy schedule) and something I think about regularly. You wonder how many often there are travel issues for referees and there has to be a last minute sub (where we in the public don’t even know the replacement happened).

@alan_daniel @bbritt237 The loophole is that the offensive player is allowed to reach over the boundary line before the ball is thrown in while the defensive player is not allowed to reach over the boundary line in the vicinity of the throw in before the ball is thrown in

@bbritt237 I'm struggling to understand what the loophole is you're talking about...?

New strategy! Up 1 with 1.9 left. CC inbounds ball. Their player stood just inbounds with his arms extended over baseline. Made pass to him and defender reached over line to deflect ball. Delay of game. CCdid same thing and UNCW alllowed pass-had to foul. A loophole in rules!!

@DavidTukesbrey @captjackson @KyleMalzhan Where’s the accountability for the coach knocking over someone else’s property? Imagine if an official freaked out the way the coach did here

@captjackson @KyleMalzhan Correct; there’s never accountability.

The same referee who called Doug Gottlieb’s infamous technical foul just over a week ago is on the officiating crew for tonight’s Miami (OH) game — where head coach Travis Steele was hit with a technical of his own and chaos followed.

@nweiser09 The girls on Camden Prep were begging the girls on PVI to score so they could get the ball again to try to score. Not PVI’s fault

No. 1 seed Paul VI won 95-3 in the first round. They should have had a bye into the second round. nj.com/highschoolspor…

@kminnicksports 5 group 4 teams, 4 non public b teams, 4 group 2 teams, 3 non public a teams, 3 group 3 teams and 1 group 1 team. It will be interesting to see how this compares to the end of season top 20

With so much happening in the last week, this was not easy - once again. Our latest South Jersey Top 20 in boys basketball 🏀🏀

@cmorris_media @tartantv_ Any chance this game is still going to be uploaded to YouTube?

Unfortunately due to a technical difficulty in the “Diz Gym” out of control of our crew… Tartan’s TV of Highland Basketball Senior Night will be on a tape delay and uploaded to YouTube as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation. #TartanTV @tartantv_
